Do you have to live in Virginia all four years your kids are in college there?

Welp, a poster above you described how her family did just that.

Welp, some internet anon claiming to have swindled the residency requirement and gotten away with it is definitely a good reason to make a significant and potentially disastrous effort to do that yourself. 🙄

Married students are presumed independent. I would find someone who wants a green card, set my price and head to the courthouse. That’s what I call a win-win.

The intended needs to be from a DCUM-approved country.

Yea, well, I’m that poster and it’s not a “claim.” It’s a fact. But I never said I “swindled” anything. I said I set my kid up to make a pretty compelling argument that she was independent but in the end she never had to make it.

In any event, as I pointed out a couple of posts ago it seems the law has changed and that you’re in pretty good shape even if you can’t prove you’re independent if you show that you went to high school in VA for at least two years and graduated from a VA high school. So OP looks to be in good shape, so long as she waits until after graduating high school.
